Sunglass lenses offer many options, and lenses are usually the most challenging component of a sunglass-buying decision. Here are some features to consider: UV Protection UVB rays burn your skin and can cause damage to your eyes. In addition, some research suggests that UVB exposure can cause cataracts. Polarized Lenses Polarized lenses reduce glare, making them great for use around lakes and oceans. They also are handy for a wide variety of sports. Mirror Lenses Mirrored lenses reduce the amount of light that reaches your eyes, so they can provide extra comfort in strong glare conditions. Mirrors can be semi-opaque or opaque from the front, so other people can see your eyes a little, or not at all. Photochromic Lenses These are the lenses that darken when you go outside and lighten when you go inside.

What About Prescriptions? It might surprise you to learn that many sunglass styles are available as prescription sunglasses; even those with polarized lenses. Of course, you can avoid the need for prescription sunglasses by wearing contact lenses or having refractive surgery such as LASIK.
